You and I together would = a hung jury and a mistrial... Some punk boinking my daughter, hiding in the closet, and then kicking me when I tell him to leave my home? Sounds like some one daring me to revoke their oxygen license to me...

I didn't realize kicking in the shins was a capital offense.

You're deliberatley being dense -- the whole idea of self defense, protection of property, protection of one's own life and health, not to mention the lives and health of family members, is the use of disproportionate force when threatened or assaulted.

Some one hits or kick me in my home after I tell them to leave is a "clear and present danger" that will be neutralized (i.e., shot) by ME prior to THEM getting an opportunity to escalate to a bludgeon, sharp object, or firearm.
